Hoover Shampoo- Polisher manual Water method

Water method

Linoleum, asphalt, rubber, vinyl, masonry and stone floors may be clean- ed with a soap or detergent and water solution. Use shampoo-polisher to dispense cleaning solution, scrub floor, and pick up dirty solution.

Do not use the water cleaning method on wood or cork floors.

1.Vacuum floor to remove loose dirt and litter.

2.Attach scrubbing-waxing-polishing brushes. If there is a heavy ac- cumulation of wax to remove, snap cleaning-waxing pads with fasteners over brushes.

3.Remove tank. Fill with warm water mixed with 2 tablespoons medium sudsing detergent or mix as directed on detergent container. Replace tank.

Concentrated ammonia solution must be used to remove some wax. If using a product specifically for wax removal, read caution label and follow instructions on container.

Note: The bag in the tank is made of vinyl. Check label on detergent container to be sure that the detergent is not harmful to vinyl.

4.Be sure the control button is in the “OFF” position. Connect cord to a wall receptacle, Press handle control lever with foot and lower the han- dle. Start by moving the control button to the “SCRUB-POLISH- SHAMPOO” position.

5.Start at the end of a room and apply solution to a 3 ft. x 6 ft. (Im x 2m) area by squeezing the trigger occasionally. Release the trigger and scrub the area as necessary. When removing hardened wax, allow solution to remain on the floor 3-5 minutes. Do not let solution dry on the floor.

6.To remove the dirty water from the floor, move the control button to “OFF” then left and forward to the “WET PICKUP” position. Move shampoo-polisher over the scrubbed area until the floor is dry. Start at one end of the floor, scrubbing and picking up the dirty water as you go. (If the shampoo-polisher is not picking up properly, check “Mainte- nance” section regarding filter bar and squeegee.)

Note: It is not always necessary to rinse floors, because the “WET PICK- UP” removes the detergent solution from the floor. However, depend- ing on the type of solution used, the floor may need to be rinsed thoroughly to eliminate dulling or streaking. If you prefer to rinse the floor, empty detergent solution from tank and rinse tank well. Add clear water through the opening marked “CLEAN SOLUTION”. Fill to the “FULL” line, Follow the same procedure as for scrubbing floors.
